You have two SDKs exposed. Use -D 1,2 or 3,4 to select the right one.

Trial & Error to find "the right one"?

Is there a way to get rid of one of the SDKs instead?

Would this be an "ATI" and an "AMD" one someplace?

Yeah. One is 2.1, ATI namespace, the other is 2.2 through 2.6, AMD namespace. Trial and error to guess which -D to use, but DM lists it on startup. DM is no longer optimized for 2.1, so you want 2.6, which means you really want Catalyst 12.3 which means do not install SDK 2.6 on top of it.

Yay AMD.

I used the Catalyst 11.2 .run and have diablo running again however it "Added Cypress (#x)" with x being 1 thru 4 of 14 CU each.  there are 2 HD5830s in this machine.  I've never seen this before.  The driver installed was ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run that I restored from a backup.  

If I don't use the .run scripts from AMD/ATI then I'm not sure how to install the proprietary drivers.  However it's mining and at a touch over 553 which is where this machine has always been.

My /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file is as it's always been since 6 of 2011 so it didn't add devices 3 & 4.  

PS:   Diablo that is running now has a .jar file dated Jan 23rd of this year.  I tried the 11 March one with same results but it is reporting around 537 mhash

How many GH/s does your mining operation currently have and how much should 1 share (out of how many) cost?

As a benchmark: 1 MH/s 100% PPS "forever" bonds currently are traded between 30 and 40 Bitcents.

Currently, less than 1 GH/sec. I'm obviously building this from the ground up.

There will be 1 million shares forever (I will not seek to ever create more), but I would like to get 1BTC each for them. Yes, I'm aware thats about 1/8th of currently circulating Bitcoins.

Notice
Diablo Mining Company has closed and liquidated.

Original Post
The Plan
Diablo Mining Company is setting out to be the first $1m USD Bitcoin Startup.

DMC will focus on mining and secondary revenue streams by not only owning the largest mining farm in existence, but also by owning its own dedicated facility and generating green power by solar and/or wind. Extra space in the facility can be rented out to other mining operations or non-mining customers.

The funding will be used to focus on three areas: a dedicated facility that can not only house our hardware but also have spare room to be leased out, purchasing high efficiency mining equipment, and purchasing enough green power generation to eliminate the operational overhead of electricity prices to allow the mining company to continue operating in profit-adverse situations (such as Bitcoin difficulty rapidly increasing, or Bitcoin prices rapidly dropping).

The Facility
A dedicated facility will be purchased or built on un-/under-developed land located in Maine due to our cold 6 months out of the year environment and lack of natural disasters. $150k will be set aside for this purpose as a soft estimate.

The Hardware
DMC will pursue any technology that gives the best performance per dollar and the best returns to our investors. We will never purchase Butterfly Labs hardware.

Post-Spartan 6 large scale mining hardware will be around for $16,000 for 50 ghash each, using 1200 watts each. Assuming we buy 40 units (or approximately whats left of the $1m after the purchase or construction of the facility with enough margin to maintain the construction of a green power generation system):

Hardware cost: $640,000
Mining power: 2000 ghash
Power usage: 50,000 watts, or about 438,000 kwh a year.
Operating cost: about $43,800 a year at 0.10 kwh maximum cost.

At approximately 1.5m Bitcoin difficulty and Bitcoin prices north of $5, 40 units should produce about 1344 BTC a day or about $6,720 a day or about $2,452,800 a year.

The Part Where We Kill Operating Costs
Up here in Maine, each 1kw of solar panels costs about $700 and produces about 1200 kwh a year (with weather patterns and nighttime factored in). Large scale wind is about $1000 per kw, but takes up less room and also generates at night, and many communities in Maine are putting up wind turbines due to excellent wind conditions.

To offset 438,000 kwh of usage a year, I'd need 365 kw of solar, or $255,500.

Hardware cost with solar: $895500.

Thats $895500 for a mining company that can operate in the most adverse conditions (ones that would bankrupt any other mining company) that can make $2.4 million a year.

What does the investor get out of this?
The contract will revolve around splitting revenue in half: one half goes to dividends, one half goes to covering operating costs and a growth fund.

Given that, I am asking for 200k shares at 1 BTC each. Each share will pay approximately 0.05 BTC a month (calculated using 1.5m Bitcoin diff), which will drop to 0.025 BTC sometime in December due to the block reward cut.

Using this math and calculating on the 0.025 BTC per share dividend alone, investors should be making a profit in less than 2 years, factoring in a doubling of difficulty as worst case.

Share Contract
The revenue will be split in two parts:
    
1) 50% of all mining revenue will be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends (henceforth referred to as "dividends"). These dividends will be paid monthly, split evenly among all shares regardless of class or issuing date.
    
2) 50% will be used to invest in additional hardware, decrease the cost of mining, and/or pay for long term operating costs of the company (henceforth referred to as the "growth fund").

Operating costs (electricity, repair work, unplanned maintenance, employee related costs, taxes) will taken out of the growth fund. Any operating costs that exceed the ability of the growth fund to cover will be borrowed from the dividends until covered. Dividends borrowed in this manner will be paid during future payment period(s) using the growth fund until repaid in full.
    
Each share represents 0% of the ownership in the company assets. In the event of liquidation, 100% of the revenue from sales of the assets and 100% of the growth fund, minus any expenses incurred from the operation or liquidation of the company will be paid to shareholders.
    
The operator of the company retains two special rights, regardless of the number of shares held by the operator: 1) the right to raise a motion, 2) the right to end operations and liquidate assets without motion. Any motions raised by shareholders will be considered non-binding advisory votes.

ati-opencl-runtime_2.1_amd64.deb maybe?

Never use the .run files from AMD, even if you use it to produce .debs. It tends to badly break shit.

I tried to run diablominer on Linux, but failed, the error message:

my box is a centos6, and java is installed (java-1.6.0-openjdk),
any idea?

You downloaded from git? Unless you plan building it with Maven, download the binary zip instead. This is detailed in the op post.

I find it funny how so many people criticised giving you a 7970 to do diablominer tuning to and now you have delivered a miner that like EVERYONE is using for their own gain.

Yeah, and now cgminer also has the kernel among the ones it supports. I think I delivered on the promise as best as possible, although I'm still looking for new ways of beating the compiler.

To be fair, AMD's GCN compiler (not the same as the 5xxx/68xx/69xx compiler(s), seems to be ground up brand new) is doing a pretty good job, I haven't been able to find any useful optimizations after I did that two week brutal death march of tuning for 2.6.

I think all in all, the community benefited from their investment.

Sounds like driver bug, did you bother to report it?

Report to who? I was using BAMT, and posted in that thread about my problems.
No one seemed to be able to help resolve the issue, so I dropped back to Windows and haven't had any problems since.
I wish I could have used BAMT, as it was hashing quite a bit faster than my current setup.

LKML.

Huh?

You asked who to report to.

Depends on the CPU arch's address space (hint: 64 bit processors, internally, do not have 64 bits of address space, its usually something like 40 or 48 bit).

So there rest is reserved for something else?

No, it just doesn't waste the space internally.

NetworManager is not part of Linux, just commonly used on it and part of the GNOME desktop.

Most people don't bother to use it on dedirigs, they just set up the network interface manually.

I didn't mean the package called network manager, I meant whatever module is responsible for handing the connection between my PC and my network.
The connection just wasn't solid or reliable, whereas the same hardware works without issue on Windows.
Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, it just isn't the right tool for every job or circumstance.
In my case, Windows just works better, with less hassle.

my 5850 is giving me alot rejects , about 10%  while my 7870 gives me like 0-1%...
the temps are below 80°C and there is no HW error and on change in rejection after i change the gpu settings to stock.

I think it might be driver bug.

Virtually every miner in here runs Linux.

Really? Not me!
I tried Linux, it was too unstable.
Yeah, I know.
It was the network manager, not the OS itself, but the overall experience was just too much hassle.

230 at stock vs 175 at stock. 79xx has the automatic memory voltage control, but has a limit of 150mhz lower than core. However, at, say, 1125mhz like mine is, moving memory from the stock 1375 down to 975 cuts down on GPU temps about 5c. On my 5850, which didn't have automatic memory voltage control, I had to drop the 1000mhz memory down to below 300 to get the same 5c drop.

Don't forget that you can run OC mode 2 on Afterburner and set the RAM to whatever you want.
My 7970 is currently at 1185 core/710 mem, hashing at 709 Mh/s stable. I've found that if I drop the RAM clock below 710, it gets a bit unstable.

im Amazed by the hashing speed of my 7870. I mean, 440 Mhash without any voltage tweaking is great i think.

Pretty good, but the 7970 is still a little better.
440 Mh/s for ~$370 vs 700 Mh/s for ~$560 means that the 7870 is running at about $0.84/MH whereas the 7970 is at roughly $0.80/MH.
Not a huge difference, but significant.
Of course this doesn't take power into account. I'm not sure of the wattage differences between the 7870 and 7970.
maybe someone can enlighten us?
